Abstract

All the works reported about oxidative cleavage of olefins by the RuCl3/NaIO4 catalytic system have been performed in biphasic water/organic solvent (s). The first organic solvent- free oxidation of CC double bond by 2% RuCl3/4.1 equiv NaIO4/H2O is described here using both the emulsifier Aliquat® 336 and 20kHz ultrasonic irradiation.
